NAME

Dist::Build::XS::PkgConfig - Dist::Build extension to use pkg-config.

SYNOPSIS

 load_module('Dist::Build::XS');
 load_module('Dist::Build::XS::PkgConfig');

 add_xs(
     module => 'Foo::Bar',
     pkg_config => {
         library     => 'tree-sitter',
         min_version => '0.6.3',
     },
 );

DESCRIPTION

This module is an extension of Dist::Build::XS, adding an additional argument to the add_xs function: pkg_config, allowing you to add flags to your build based on a pkg-config library file. This argument will either contain simply the name of a library, a hash or a list of names/hashes. The hashes will contain the following entries:

• library

  Mandatory. The name of the library you want to link to.

• min_version

  The minimum version of the library.

• static

  Also specify static libraries.

It will add the appropriate arguments for that pkgmodule to the build.
